Because He Lives

A                                  D
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus
           A              E       E7
He came to love, heal and forgive
             A    A7        D
He lived and died to buy my pardon
         A                 E               A
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

A               A7           D
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
           A                  E  E7
Because He lives, all fear is gone
          A E A             D
Because I know He holds the future
            A
And life is worth the living
E               A
Just because He lives!

A                                D
And then one day, I'll cross the river
                  A         E       E7
I'll fight life's final war with pain
             A    A7            D
And then, as death gives way to victory
             A               E                A
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

A               A7           D
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
           A                  E  E7
Because He lives, all fear is gone
          A E A             D
Because I know He holds the future
            A
And life is worth the living
E               A
Just because He lives!

            A
And life is worth the living
E               A
Just because He lives!
